Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220: 220-In The Dark

Helanie:

I couldn’t make Lamar speak with me. And in anger, I just didn’t want to request a talk with him either. Lucy returned with more food and sat in the bed to eat alone with a smile on her lips.

I wanted to speak with her, but she looked so comfortable that I felt guilty for almost trying to make her cry over the injustice that happened to her. But since it was too early to do so, I decided to give her a day. She would probably be herself by the morning. Denial could be dangerous.

I lay down in the bed after Lucy was done eating, and we both fell asleep before I woke up in the middle of the night at the sound of the door closing. Rubbing my eyes to confirm, it was Lamar who had left.

The night was still not over, and it was only 12:15 a.m. I guess I will take a walk near the library. The warden told us the library would be open till morning so that those agitated wolves who wanted to go out at night but couldn’t anymore have somewhere to stay awake at.

But since nobody liked the library as it didn’t help an agitated wolf, I planned to go there. I didn’t have a wolf, so I guess I would find something to read and spend time with. I had no clue where Lamar had gone, probably to some girl’s room to get the heat off and change his mood.

Once I was on the ground floor and was about to enter the library, I realized somebody was already there.

Storming inside, I began to reach the last shelves where a little light was turned on. However, it was a flashlight that went out instantly after my footsteps became too loud.

I knew who it was.

I could hear little sobs from the corner right beside the last shelf. There was just a little space by the wall where he had fit himself perfectly and was sitting on the floor with his knees curled to his chest.

"Lamar?" Even though I had never heard him cry before, I just knew it was his cries.

He stopped, and it was I who turned my flashlight on this time. It was indeed him, sobbing alone and looking so miserable.

"Hey," I ignored everything else and quickly sat down beside him.

"Are you okay?" My question made him point at my flashlight; he wanted to sit in the dark.

Before putting out the flashlight, I noticed the red hair in the plastic bag placed in front of him and his eyes fixed on them.
